r313436:

Clarify #includes for hexdump(3) vs sbuf_hexdump(9)

hexdump(3) only requires libutil.h, whereas sbuf_hexdump(9) requires
sys/types.h (for ssize_t) and sys/sbuf.h

r313437:

Create link from hexdump(3) to sbuf_hexdump(9) as the manpage describes
sbuf_hexdump(9)'s behavior

r313438:

Clean up trailing and leading whitespace for variables to make it
consistent with the rest of the file and style.Makefile(9) a bit
more

r314587:

Correct MLINKS for sbuf_hexdump(9)

sbuf_hexdump(9) should be linked to sbuf(9), not hexdump(3). Another
review will be posted to deduplicate the sbuf_hexdump reference in
in hexdump(3) or at the very least make the information less duplicative.

r315687:

Document sbuf_hexdump(9) in just sbuf(9)

- Remove duplicate references to sbuf_hexdump(9) from hexdump(3).
  sbuf_hexdump(9) already pointed back to hexdump(3) for implementation
  details.
- Refer to sbuf_hexdump(9) instead of sbuf(9) for completeness

.Dt HEXDUMP 3
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm hexdump
.Nd "dump a block of bytes to standard out in hexadecimal form"
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In libutil.h
.Ft void
.Fn hexdump "void *ptr" "int length" "const char *hdr" "int flags"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn hexdump
function prints an array of bytes to standard out in hexadecimal form,
along with the
.Tn ASCII
representation of the bytes, if possible.
By default, each line of
output will start with an offset count, followed by 16 hexadecimal values,
followed by 16
.Tn ASCII
characters.
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fa ptr
Pointer to the array of bytes to print.
It does not need to be
.Dv NUL Ns
-terminated.
.It Fa length
Number of bytes to print.
.It Fa hdr
Pointer to a
.Dv NUL Ns
-terminated character string that will be prepended to each
line of output.
A value of
.Dv NULL
implies that no header will be printed.
.It Fa flags
Flags for controlling the formatting of the output.
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv HD_OMIT_COUNT"
.It Bits 0-7
Integer value of the number of bytes to display on each line.
A value of 0 implies that the default value of 16 will be used.
.It Bits 8-15
Character
.Tn ASCII
value to use as the separator for the hexadecimal output.
A value of 0 implies that the default value of 32
.Tn ( ASCII
space) will be used.
.It Dv HD_OMIT_COUNT
Do not print the offset column at the beginning of each line.
.It Dv HD_OMIT_HEX
Do not print the hexadecimal values on each line.
.It Dv HD_OMIT_CHARS
Do not print the character values on each line.
